An intriguing case for Detective Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte begins on a calm October day in an Australian seaside town. Three men set out to sea for a day's fishing... and do not return.

It is quite clear that its owner was murdered with a pistol bullet. But by whom, and why, is for Bony to find out.

Map only in some
The particular edition I ordered didn't have "Bony's Key Map." The map is, I believe, in the US edition pictured above. The mystery solution is complex and the map is needed to understand it. I recommend ordering an edition with the map.
